Study participants were allocated to either a study group or a control group. 17 patients from the study group were given vitamin E and selenium for 2 months, whereas 18 patients from the control group received a placebo. Both groups were treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs. The results showed that vitamin E and selenium supplementation reduced oxidative stress in tuberculosis patients.
